Romans 8:15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba,Father.’
Some people may look at a religion as being a cult that traps them into something which they cannot get out of. This is not what our God is like at all. Our God is here to set us free and not to trap us into anything we don’t want.
When we realise just how much God wants to be able to do for us and how much he cares for us, we will most likely respect Him and treat Him like our own father.
Yes we are under bondage in that we have a new responsibility to act in a decent manner after getting to know what God wants from us, but because of His great love for us, He wants to treat us like sons and not like slaves.
